Her Sons Death Song.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


A touching story is told in connection with the
death of jeremiah Sullivan, young and poplI-
lar resident of the Thirteenth ward. Jerry had
a fine tenor voice and was regarded as the life
of every social event he attended He was a
member of the Andrew S. Glynn Association,
and on the occasion of its recent excursion to
College Point he entered heartily into all the
sports and afterward sang in the parlors before
party of ladies. He had a large repertoire and
could adapt himself to almost any audience.
At public entertainments he always won great
applause, but he felt more at home at the social
board surrounded by his friends When
he was stricken down with pneumonia about
two weeks ago, at the house of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Sylvester Sullivan, 2W Broadway his
mother became alarmed and betrayed in his
presence her concern about his condition He
tried to assure her that her fears were ground
less, and that he would conquer grim death. AS
the days passed by Mrs. Sullivan could not CON
ceal her solicitude and her tears from her son
so, in order to quiet her. he would sing to her,
as an evidence of the fact that he was not SO
bad as she thought. Friday there was no doubt
that the end was approaching. When the
tender hearted son heard his mother crying,
dying as he was, he sang "A Letter that Never
Came Within ten minutes he passed peace
fully into eternity.

Senator Colquitt on Prohibition.


The article by Senator Colquitt in the last
number of the Ne,U Princeton Rerie,o on
the prohibition question has attracted con-
siderable attention. The Senator has long
been an open advocate of prohibition, and
though in this State he has favored the policy
! of local option, by which so much good has
been accomplished, he no doubt hopes that
eventually the issue will become national
| one
In the beginning of his article he says
that, to the protesting Christian, the Bible
ought to end the question, but if the teach
ings Of Holy Writ were not clear, the $780,
| 100000 yearly wasted, the crime, destitu-
ton and wretchedness caused by indulgence
in drink should array against the legalizing
of the traffic the influence of all good men.
The argument that prohibitory legisla-
ton is sumptuary is next taken up, and an
attempt is made to show how fallacious is
the claim that such legislation touches
more on personal freedom than do laws al
ready in force regulating the sale of food,
medicines, etc. "If the greatest liberty to
the greatest number" says the Senator, sis
the real essence of right government, why
were laws enacted against faro and poker
playing and the social evil.
The economic arguments and those i'll be-
half of domestic peace and happiness, mans
dignity, intellectual and moral status, are
all on the side of prohibition. No State, no
municipality, no family, says the Senator,
hesitates to subsidize moral suasion by rain
and penalties where the conscience
tha inc nh Of Coil
to deter, and asks why the
crimes Of arson, murder, theft and others of
like infamy, are not left to be dealt with by
moral suasion. The right of self defense be-
longs to the State as well as to the indi-
vidual. The great success of the prohibition
movement, practically without organiza-
ton, is proof that the heart and conscience
of the people are with it.
The most interesting part of the article is
that which deals with the Atlanta expert
ment, in which he shows that it has not en-
tailed The loss of business predicted, but has
led to an era of great prosperity, with a
large surplus in the city treasury.
The Senator does not dispute the claim
that in certain portions of the country
where prohibitory laws are on on the stat
ute books they cannot be enforced, but sees
in such failure serious cause for apprehen-
sion as to the future well-being of the coun-
try.
The article closes with a ferveut ac-
acknowledgement of the all-important influence
of women, who everywhere are enlisted on
the side of prohibition.
No one not familiar with Senator Col
quits history would suspect that he is poll
tician and an officeholder, but he would re-
gard him as preacher Most of the article
is an appeal to the moral and emotional
side of mans nature, rather than an argu-
ment. 1t is a good example of its class of
temperance literature, and will bear careful

A Model Governor.

DIR. Luke Blackburn, who died the other
day at Frankfort, KY, was Governor of
that State six or seven years ago, and made
himself quite notorious by opening the
doors of the penitentiary to about tenth
of all the convicts confined there. He was
criticised and condemned, but he went right
ahead issuing pardons. He knew what he
was about. When he became Governor he
inspected the penitentiary, and found /, 900
prisoners. crowded into quarters for
only 400 He called the attention
Of the Legislature to this condition
of affairs, and pointed out that additional
accommodations were needed and must be
provided. The Legislature, however, was
more intent on providing low rate of tax
alton than caring for the convicts in ac-
cordance with the dictates of humanity.
The Governor, therefore, decided upon his
course. He announced his purpose to par
don convicts until only enough remained TO
comfortably occupy the quarters provided
by the State. When the Legislature saw
that he was in earnest it complied with his
request and built new penitentiary.
1t was said of Gov Blackburn when his
term of Office expired that he had been the
best Governor the State ever had, and that
besides revolutionizing the prison system he
had inaugurated, and carried to success,
other reforms from which the people re-
ceived great deal of benefit.
One strong, earnest, intelligent man is
often worth more than whole Legislature
to State 1t is not often that State has

The Chattanooga University, under the
control of the Northern Methodist Church,
has opened its doors. 1t is intended for the
education of whites, but there seems to be a
disposition among some of the colored people
to demand admission to it for colored pupils.
Should they do so the college authorities
will find themselves in an unpleasant pre-
dicament. To yield to the demand would
make colored school of it, while to dis
criminate against the colored people would
be inconsistent with the attitude of the
church.

The Boodlers' Retreat.

1t is probable that the escape of McGari-
gle, the Chicago boodler, will lead to an in
ternational agreement under which crimi-
nails of all kinds, not covered by existing
treaties, escaping into Canada from this
country will be returned, and criminals
from Canada, escaping to this country, will
be turned over TO the Canadian authorities.
The Canadians are more anxious for an
agreement of this sort than the people of
this country are, for the reason that they
arc about tired of having the Dominion used
as a refuge by all the boodlers and bank
thieves which are developed in the
United States. They didn't mind
sheltering from justice the few who made
their way into their territory a quarter Of
n century ago, but the number has become
so great that they are beginning to be afraid
that their own morals will become con-
taminated, aud that their officials and bust
ness men will furnish heavy percentage of
boodlers and thieves.
Secretary Bayard was asked if there was
no ground upon which the extradition of
McGargle could be demanded, and no re-
piled that there was none. He declined TO
ask for his surrender on the ground Of
comfy because it is not customary for this
government 20 make n request of that sort,
and because it could not very well comply
with reciprocal request.
An international agreement is the only
thing that will keep our boodlers and dis
honest business men from seeking safety i'm
Canada. The agreement should be nego-
tinted and ratified at as early a day as pos
sible. The closing of the Canadian retreat
may prevent many men from committing
criminal acts.
